This is because your forgot to append null-device to the arguments you
pass to semantic-gcc-get-include-paths.  So the command line ends with
a "-x c", which, as GCC tells you, is quite pointless without a file
name after it.

Yes, both.

Btw, as Miles's output shows, there could be more than 2 directories
in this list, and all of them should be looked in.  AFAIR, the order
of lookup should be the order in which GCC prints them, because that's
what GCC does.
